Pay attention

Pay attention

Listen to my heart.
Barely beating.
Look at my collapsed lungs.
Hardly breathing.
My sore arms and thighs.
The lines marking them.
Pay attention to my hands.
The way they tremble.
Observe my eyes.
So diluted.
Try and find my soul.
It’ll be hard because it’s crushed.
Searching for my hope.
It’s nothing more than dust.

The fish of the sea

Awww, such a write Jade. I hope things work out for you. Your poem is so very clever and simple, it seemed to resonate with me on a deep level. All the Best. The Fish of the Sea.

Being Me

Hope is the only weapon we have against being lost. And yet in this poem your hope has turned to dust so, with that in mind, I find this such an emotionally sad write. Well written though... And I do like it x

thank you so much:) I am thankful you like it. My hope may have turned to dust but hopefully one day I am able to find some of it's speckles and keep it in a glass jar

Distance

Lovers on different sides of the country

Distance

Laying underneath the stars,
Taking our time like the world is ours.
Wishing upon every star...

All my life I've had depression
Hard to show expression
Anxiety always leads to aggression...

A side piece.
It’s what I’ll always be.
The love for myself continues to decrease.

Die Sons Opkoms

Waar die branders breek
Op die sagte sand
Staan ek en tuur
Duskant die horison....
